“Students love Harvard Case Studies for their great quality and popular stories with big names. But in a way, they provide a very superficial experience. Popular and interesting, yes, but something is missing. We need to teach our executive with our cases. With cases from our environment.” (D. Latusek)

Dear friends, I am writing these words just before the holiday season, proud of what CEEMAN achieved in 2017.

"Society and the business sector have faced different challenges, characterized by volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity. To tackle these challenges management education institutions have to develop managers and leaders who will be able to lead necessary changes in the business sector and in society, and make a difference that is desperately needed. To accomplish this mission management education institutions have to become change agents themselves and introduce a new model of management education, dedicated to educational offerings and research activities relevant to the needs and challenges of their stakeholders and respective environments". Dr. Alenka Braček Lalić, CEEMAN International Quality Accreditation director
